   Summary

   The man twists his face into disgust. His red eye glitters unnaturally, and the teeth on his cheek suddenly seem a whole lot sharper. Ryland gulps. “I’m not eating that,” the man says firmly, “I’m not eating it.”

   “I promise, it’s food,” Grace says, holding up the shiny little tube. “It’s not very good, but it has to be better than starving.”

   “You’re with the COI, aren’t you?” The man says accusingly, “You’re trying to kill me. My sentence has already passed, hasn’t it? I’ve done my penance. I’m not eating that, I won’t let you poison me. I was promised, you people promised me that you’d let me go if I…you promised you wouldn’t kill me!”

   Grace blinks stupidly. “What?”
